Series · 1993-1995
Part of Nova Scotia Department of Justice
Series consists of transcripts of selected court proceedings retained by the Court Administration office in Yarmouth. Originally the files were probably created to manage the transcription process and often reflect situations were appeals were considered or proceedings adjourned. The files reflect a diversity of cases, mostly criminal, from various levels of courts for cases heard at Bridgewater, Liverpool and Yarmouth. They do not reflect every case heard in these courts.

Part of Nova Scotia Registry of Deeds fonds
Series forms part of the Nova Scotia Registry of Deeds fonds and consists of 153 land transaction registers, 1774-1949, recording the sale or transfer of land between grantor (seller) and grantee (buyer), mortgage assignments and releases, (including Canadian Farm Loan Board mortgages, 1937-1949 and Supplementary Agreements, 1966), quit claim deeds, and numerous other types of documents relating to land transactions. The documents recorded in the land transaction registers are transcriptions (the Registry's copy) of the original documents held by grantor and grantee. Series also includes four Books of Indexes, 1834-1859, which provide the registration date and time, the book and page reference to the land transactions register, and the names of the parties. These index books were replaced by a newer index system. Series also includes Crown Land Grant books 1 and 2, 1854-1969, which provided a local copy of land grants also recorded at the Crown Lands Office.
